little early ...I made this for use in another forum site post, thought I would share it here too. Bring's back memories of the good and the not so good of the great attempt, released 4 years ago v.13054...money and time the spoiler

Being one of those people who always found the game enjoyable even with all its flaws and failings, I have fond memories of playing the original and all subsequent versions of the game, up until official support stopped.

When, coincidentally, other interests and commitments in my life meant I pretty much stopped playing the game altogether anyway.

I can appreciate all the work that's been done to improve the game since then, but it's hard to imagine being able to spend as much time with the game as I once did.

So yeah, nice memories, (of the actual game, but not of all the bs that went on behind the scenes and on the forums here).

And speaking of video's of the old game, it turns out this one I made has become (as far as I know, and to my surprise) the most viewed 'IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover' video on Youtube -

That's really just a great video Les, I can see why it is #1 from word of mouth no doubt, uploaded on May 19, 2011(that is 4+ years, time flies!!) which would make it Original game I believe and was pre-damage decals, that did arrived with the first patch v1.0.13954...anyway enjoyed it lots

Les! I still use your injectFX settings ias a basis for my own tweaks in Cliffs.
Be grand to have you back flying again some day!
